Finally.
Now I will have to wait no more.
I've held off buying any nrx because of the ugly blue wrappings.
Depending on how they look, my bank account might be hurting.

I was just thinking about switching rods to all JDM too lol. I really enjoy the conquest and NRX lineups but those recoil guides were absolutely terrible. Great sensitivity with mono or fluoro but the worst for dishing braid. I don’t want my high end rod sounding like I’m sawing through the guides. Hopefully this rod changes my view on Loomis. Love the warranty.

I hate them to, so I just swap them out. If you don’t feel comfortable, find a local builder. Builders around here charge $60 to swap Recoils to SIC.

I hope they make it look like a $500 stick and not a $100 stick from 1993.

Does that take the rod out of warranty? I wasn’t sure if it did or not so I kept them stock.

NRX was totally due for a revamp. Not a big fan of the guides/wraps/ or how they epoxy their sticks. Kind of a love hate relationship with this series. Great blank but out of probably 8 I've owned I only have one left that had nice craftmanship. Fish don't care one way or the other but is my NRX supposed to have a spiral wrap from the factory

I can't confirm either way but if drilling a hole in the butt to add a small weight does, then this would too, IMO.
